Wastewater is contaminated water that must be treated before it may be transferred into other rivers and lakes in order to prevent further groundwater pollution. Over the last decade, research has been conducted on a wide variety of contaminants, but the emerging contaminants are those caused primarily by micropollutants, endocrine disruptors (EDs), pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, and toxins, as well as industrially-related synthetic dyes and dye-containing hazardous pollutants. Most emerging pollutants did not have established guidelines, but even at low concentrations they could have harmful effects on humans and aquatic organisms. In order to combat the above ecological threats, huge efforts have been done with a view to boosting the effectiveness of remediation procedures or developing new techniques for the detection, quantification and efficiency of the samples. The increase of interest in biotechnology and environmental engineering gives an opportunity for the development of more innovative ways to water treatment remediation. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of emerging sources of contaminants, detection technologies, and treatment strategies. The goal of this review is to evaluate adsorption as a method for treating emerging pollutants, as well as sophisticated and cost-effective approaches for treating emerging contaminants.
污水是受污染的水，在转移到其他河流和湖泊之前必须进行处理，以防止进一步的地下水污染。在过去的十年中，已经对各种污染物进行了研究，但新兴污染物主要是由微污染物、内分泌干扰物（EDs）、农药、药物、激素和毒素以及与工业相关的合成染料和含染料的危险污染物引起的。大多数新兴污染物没有既定的指导方针，但即使浓度很低，它们也可能对人类和水生生物产生有害影响。为了应对上述生态威胁，已经做出了巨大的努力，以提高修复程序的有效性或开发用于检测、定量和提高样品效率的新技术。对生物技术和环境工程的兴趣增加，为水处理修复提供了更多创新方法发展的机会。本文的目的是概述新兴污染物的来源、检测技术和处理策略。本文的目的是评估吸附作为处理新兴污染物的一种方法，以及处理新兴污染物的复杂且具有成本效益的方法。
